Abstract:IntroductionPreoperative neurocognitive disorder (preO-NCD) is a common condition affecting 14–51. 7% of the elderly population. General anesthesia has already been associated with the one-year post-operative neurocognitive disorder (PostO-NCD), specifically, a deficit in executive function, measured by the Trail Making Test B (TMT-B), but its long-term effects on cognitive function have not been investigated. We aimed to detect preO-NCD prevalence in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery and further investig… Show more
“…The Trail Making Test Part B (TMT-B) is an assessment of executive function that measures the time taken (in seconds) to complete the task. 24 Assessment of processing speed was through the administration of the Stroop Color-Word Test (SCWT). 25 Higher scores were deemed indicative of better performance on the tests, except for the SCWT and TMT-B tasks, where longer completion times were associated with poorer performance.…”
ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to evaluate the gender differences in the correlation between physical activity (PA) and cognitive subdomains in elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).DesignCross-sectional study.SettingThe research was carried out in communities located in Fuzhou, Fujian Province and Beijing Municipality.ParticipantsCommunity-dwelling elders with T2D and MCI aged 60 years or older were eligible for this study.Primary outcome measures and analysesThe weekly PA score was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The cognitive subdomains were evaluated through a battery of cognitive assessments, including the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), Trail Making Test Part B, Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) and the Stroop Color-Word Test (SCWT). Multiple linear regression models were employed to examine the association between PA and cognitive subdomains in both male and female individuals.ResultsIn older men, higher total IPAQ score was positively correlated with higher RAVLT (P=0.011) and SCWT (P=0.049). There was a significant interaction between the total PA score and gender in relation to RAVLT (P=0.008) and SCWT (P=0.027). Moreover, there was a positive correlation between moderate-vigorous PA level and RAVLT in older men (P=0.007). Additionally, a positive correlation was found between moderate-vigorous PA level and DSST in older women (P=0.038).ConclusionIn older individuals with T2D and MCI, the association between PA and cognitive subdomains differs between men and women. This discrepancy may impact the customisation of exercise recommendations.
